Dirk True

As a student,
I was good at
geometry.
It was ordered,
had rules, made sense.
People are non-
Euclidean,
and axioms
did not hold. So
I abandoned
the path they all
thought I belonged
on and struck out
on my own. A
disappointment
to many, but
leaving that world
was worth it. I
proved, if only
to myself, the
shortest distance
between two points
is never a
straight, direct line.
